"Ladies and gentlemen
Can someone help me? I have just bought an Acer Aspire One 120 gig+Linpus Linux
as a photo storage device. It is a fabulous machine for the job as the screen
is incredibly sharp and the whole deal is better than say the Epson P3000
device.
I use a pair of Canon 400D's and only shoot in Raw. The default image viewer
(gThumb??) is fantastic as it does a slide show at the same time as it
magnifies the image -A BRILLIANT combination for checking (and discarding)
images in the field. The snag? It doesn't read the native Canon .CR2 Raw file
format!! So I now have to shoot in JPEG which is a really dumb thing to do.
I have tried various sites to no avail, as I simply can't seem to get across my
message that I am a COMPLETE novice with Linux. I can't understand the
terminology. I have received advice and questions about "which file manager do
you have?" "changing distros" "reloading with ubuntu" "joining a Linux forum "
etc etc But I am a photographer not a computer expert. I didn’t even realise
the machine was Linux not Windows XP!!!
Does anyone know of a SIMPLE way to view (slide show +magnification would be
wonderful if possible) Canon .CR2 FILES.I do not need to edit or process them,
as I do this "back at the ranch" with Photoshop. I realise I might need a bit
more RAM and I am plucking up the courage to fit another Gig of memory. If I
need to download something I can just about do that,(and I don't mind buying
the right product) but what is it and EXACTLY how do I install it?
It's probably a big ask (and outside the remit of the forum?) but can anyone
help please.
Thank you
John Parker"
